UX - Communicating features and improvements

iBooks - What's New In Version 1.1.1
- Double-tap an image within a book to view it in greater detail.
- Experience books that include audio and video.
- Enjoy substantial performance improvements when reading PDFs.
- Look-up definitions to English words inside books without a specified language.  [...]
I did a little bit of digging on the AppStore and it seems this is not an unusual way of presenting release notes.
I must say that I really appreciate this "challenge-the-user" approach.

As a developer that used to think of release notes as as impersonal as they can be conceived this way of presenting them intrigues me quite a bit.
Maybe it's only the audience of the RN that changes (mine is often composed of techies and/or product managers). Maybe not.

One thing I found interesting is that even this minor details contribute to the user experience in a not negligible way.
